Donating pays dividends.

Research shows that our mentoring works. Children
with a Big Brother or Big Sister show real differences in
their personal and academic lives. They are more
confident in their schoolwork performance, they get
along better with their families and they’re 52% less
likely to skip school.

Elaina and MyEsha's Story

Little Sister Elaina and Big Sister MyEsha were matched when Elaina was six and in kindergarten. Since the beginning MyEsha has taken interest in Elaina’s academics, alternating studying and homework with fun activities, such as bowling, movies, jewelry making and church. Together they set goals and MyEsha offers incentives for successful attainment of the goals. Since the match began, Elaina’s mother and teachers say that her Big Sister has had an impact on her life. Also since MyEsha started becoming involved in Elaina's school, her behavior and grades have improved. Elaina said her Big Sister is pretty, happy, fun and that she loves her Big. MyEsha said that she is very proud of her Little. According to Elaina’s mother, BBBS has had impact on her whole family through all the matches and the activities offered through the program.
